Ahlan Ya Ramadhan Kareem....alhamdulillah, this year He gives us the opportunity to celebrate Ramadhan again...this is my 2nd year fasting with Imtiaz still fully breastfeeding...alhamdulillah...since Imtiaz is still reverse cycling, there is no worry for me to express enough breastmilk for him during the day time...although i do express them to maintain milk supply, twice a day, 2-3 oz each session....i've blogged about a few tips during ramadhan before to maintain the milk supply, here and here...
insya Allah, this Ramadhan, i'm trying my best to spend more time to do extra good deeds and ibadah (i already missed last night's tarawikh due to tiredness and Imtiaz was a bit cranky and kept on breastfeeding every single hour)...
and this year, Jihan is trying her best to fast for the first time...! she had been very excited before the Ramadhan month and kept telling us that she is 5 year old and must fast...and her Atok's friend told her if she fasts throughout the Ramadhan month, she can get money!
so this morning, it was easy to wake her up for sahur....and she ate a plate of rice and drank her favourite strawberry yogurt drink until he stomach was full....and Imtiaz joined us for sahur as well, enjoying some pasta and soup....
we should encourage our children to start fasting at the early age... there is no harm to give some kind of reward at the end of the day, at the same time educating them that fasting is obligated among healthy Muslims during Ramadhan...
i found this interesting free download fasting chart from ALIM Kids Bookshop.. perhaps this will encourage our children to fast this Ramadhan, insya Allah....
